..... well....here.....we..... GO ......the beginning of the beginning, time to pick our slots in the draft and declare the keepers (though God knows why we're freaking rushing this....we damn well near have a MONTH before the greedy bastards kick off for real )

So since we have so much time....we can take a week for this....and let people work their keeper trade offers/ideas as they see fit (which can happen till we start drafting anyway), but here's the list anyway.....time to get pre-selecting and get things sorta rolling.....just as slowly as possible.....

Well three and a half weeks to be exact. And the draft usually takes two and a half weeks. We need the extra week cushion here to wake up people out of hibernation that aren't looking at the forum and take forever to pick their slot (not to mention making sure the stragglers are still doing it, if we need a replacement that'll take time).

Incidentally RSC's profile says he last logged in during freaking February...is he gonna pull a Peyton and walk out after winning? I'm a little curious about him, Masked, dr, Clown and MJ (who didn't even really take part in the draft first-hand last year)...none of them voted in the poll or have logged into the board for ages.

Glad I'm getting an early choice but now I'm really gonna have to give the keeper a lot of thought the next day or so. I just noticed the defending champ also gets the first choice this year...that's like what happens in the hockey league

PM's don't do squat if you're not logging into the board to begin with unless you happen to have e-mail notifications turned on for them (and the e-mail address is still being used). I sent RSC a PM for his dead fantasy hockey team in February, I forgot to delete it till now but it's never been read anyway

You get an email saying that you got the PM....it all depends on which emails you use for what....I know my yahoo email is useless and I never use it

So I guess we need to wait till Thursday and we might have to start tossing folk......

You can turn the PM e-mail setting off - though for the purposes of this draft it's better to leave it on, and a lot of people (including me) probably had it auto-turned back on once the board changed its format anyway. I only just now figured out how to turn that off along with the notifications for every time someone responds to a post.

.....add in that the "message board" format is getting kicked to obsolete-levels with facebook groups too (a shame I prefer msg boards).....doesnt make things any easier

I had to do a trade over Facebook last year cause not everyone logs in to read PM's before picking. But I don't know everyone there, just a couple...I tried the PM though, see how many of those five read and respond.

Yeah...first year of teaching will do that to you haha. My social life was kaput basically from September to June, and then add in training seriously for powerlifting competitions and I had zero free time...hence my lack of a log-in.

at least it's an even number so if we had to cut people we'd be down to 10....but they still have till Thursday (that's plenty of time for people to fall in) and we can get to the drafting on Monday.... God I am so NOT ready for football season

Masked and dr33 are the ones still unaccounted for and both have been off the board for a long time. And assuming nothing's happened to either they know what month this is. If they haven't reached out by now either they're too busy or no longer interested.
